Gillies served as Gibson's understudy for the United States' gold medal run last year. "We saw a goaltending clinic last year from John Gibson, which was a treat to watch. He was an unbelievable mentor," Gillies said. "Gibby is the reason we won the tournament, hands-down. We had Johnny G. (Flames prospect Johnny Gaudreau) and other guys step up when we needed it, but Gibby is the reason we won and it shows what goaltending means to this tournament." Gillies turned aside 23 of 24 shots in Team USA's 5-1 win over the Czech Republic in his tournament opener.
